I think you’re correct. There is a saying something like: in a crisis, all correlations go to 1. I believe it’s likely one of those things that’s okay most of the time and then, every once in a while, causes extreme and systemic problems. Therefore, Robinhood will probably do it because the incentives are aligned.
I mean, yes, my assumption is there exists an image / video normalization algorithm that can be followed by hashing the normalized value. There’s a CSAM scanning tool that exists that I believe uses a similar approach
It has been documented that human image moderators exist and that some have been deeply traumatized by their work. I have zero doubts that the datasets of content and metadata created by human image moderators are being bought and sold, literally trafficking in human suffering. Can you point to a comprehensive effort by the tech majors to create a freely-licensed dataset of violent content and metadata to prevent duplication of human suffering?
